Reply to comment by WeShineUnderOneSun in If you can't afford to tip decently, then you shouldn't be eating out. Thoughts? by WeShineUnderOneSun

Shifting the cost isn’t really my concern. I just think not a lot of service industry workers necessarily even want to ditch the system. If you’re gonna reform it, set some shift hourly minimum where a server isn’t fucked on a completely dead night and going home with it not worth it.

A huge part of the appeal of service industry jobs is how much you can make in the right gig on a normal to great night where the people who do it a lot make full time money in way less hours.

So true. As a young artist it's why I chose it -- least amount of hours worked, maybe 20 / week, allowing the most free time. Plus I liked bringing cash money home in my pocket every night rather than having to wait for a paycheck.
